Chapter 1: Introduction
PCI Express is the next revolution in I/O interconnect standards that will deliver the bandwidth and features required by
PCs, consumer electronics and communications devices. The architecture is a cost-effective, low-pin count, and
point-to-point technologies offering maximum bandwidth, reducing cost and design complexity and enabling smaller form
factors. This card is the best solution for Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express and the interface has a potential transfer rates of
2.5 Gbps using a single-lane (or x1) PCI Express link
This card is a 10/100/1000M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Card, which is specifically designed to plug into a desktop
equipped with an available x1, x4, x8 or x16 PCI Express slot. It provides throughput and connectivity at Gigabit
speeds up to 1000Mbps(1Gbps) raw bandwidth, this is100 time faster than the original Ethernet, yet is compatible with
existing Ethernet. It comes with a comprehensive of software drives for all desktop operating systems, including
Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
